I woke up at five-thirty that morning with great singleness of purpose. I had my outfit all set. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my Speedo, so I substituted long underwear from when I was eight--super-tight, very WWE. Up top, I wore a sweatshirt that I'd carefully cut open with a pair of scissors, so it was only closed by a few threads. It took me hours, but it was totally worth it. If Hashtag got physical, I could tear it off in a heartbeat..

You children have created quite a stir in the hunt." "Why?" asked Amy. "We've outsmarted a few people, but I don't think we're winning." She paused. "Are we?" "Perhaps not, but you're younger than the rest of us, with fewer resources, no branch to support you, and almost zero knowledge of our family history. Many predicted you wouldn't last a week. Yet here you are, right in the thick of things."
